B&Q half price veg plugs.

[Madasafish]

About 3 weeks ago I bought a poly tray of 6 B&Q geranium plants reduced to 90p (was £4) due to frost damage. I am glad to say only one died...

Thanks Matt. It's Penistone Road I use. I haven't had time to call this week, but it was brassicas I was after, particularly sprouts and I dont' think they'll have got them. If you go in later, do let me know please and I'll try to call in the morning. I have had experience of B & Q selling neglected, dying plants and I have commented to staff, but you get little reaction.

well, they did have brassicas at 50p per tray - but i dont know if they had sprouts (didn't have a proper look as i havent got any more room for them at home ) -

but like i said, on monday they did have beetroot, lettuce, strawbs and brassicas at 50p each - and they where on a tall trolley which was staccked to the brim, so hopefully they will be some left for you? (if your interested in the strawbs - they where on the end of the veg isle - have a look on the pots as they had 50p written on them - well that was long winded to say the least

Ooh thanks Matt, now all I need do is persuade himself that we have to call in the morning

I thought the powers of persuasion came naturally to you ladies Flo.............

hi flo, just to let you know, ive been down to B&Q today - they still had some reduced veg, all the strawbs have gone and i couldn't see any brussels

Oh they do BM and to avoid calling, he paid for the plants on line

Hi Matt and thanks again - as you can see, I've ordered some brussels, but I'll grow them on to avoid the slug damage

Inspired by this thread, I went to B&Q at lunch time. Found they had all plants 3 for the price of 2, so not HUGE savings, but I got two toms and one aubergine. They did have a wooden box for peas and beans though that was ever so pretty. Only £5 compared to full price of £20! And some edible flowers for in a pretty stand for a couple of squigglies.. and pretty baskets for beetroot, so I got two!

It did surprise me though - some of the beans they were selling for a couple of quid are the same size as the ones I planted at home just a few days ago. They've come up an inch or two, and they were selling them, around five of them, for 2 quid! Daylight robbery that is.

To folks that either can't be bothered to or do not know how to grow from seed, it's still a bargain @ 40p per plant me thinks..........

I know, but still! Everyone needs to be part of the vine! Resistance is futile! *ahem*

It is an injustice when you know what you're doing Sarriss, but beginners often make a start with those sort of plants and graduate very quickly!
